Yep. D rings, Forged / welded. The slider was manganese bronze... by lost-wax casting.

Beautiful shop, Dave. With that setup I'm guessing you were doing metal fab long before you got into treework. Metal fab was my top elective throughout school, and in the Army when the need called. I work at Van Peer Boat Works in Ft. Bragg off and on for 15 years. At one time I knew...

Our local climate is so mild. Not a person I know in Ft. Bragg has an air conditioner.

We haven't even had a frost yet. Only fire going is the brush pile.

"Cat-repelling fire bricks?" I never would have guessed.

What are the bricks for, Sean?
